    Battery Pack (BP-958), and a larger Hard Case (C-958). cracked. • Never use on circuits or systems that have voltages in excess of 600V AC/DC. #61-954 #61-956 #61-958 • Never use the tracer with a remote ground in patient care areas. Ground currents generated by the tracer may create a shock hazard for electrically susceptible patients.

    RC-954 Display • Receiver Orientation 1. Bright, 7-digit LED display. • The indication of received signal intensity depends on how the receiver is pointed 2. Low Battery Indicator is off then in relation to the source of the signal. If the receiver is pointed away from the lights when 10% battery signal source then there will be a low value indicated on the receiver.

  • Page 6: Applications

    Locating Circuit Breakers and Fuses To avoid the canceling effect of the opposing magnetic fields and optimize the transmitted signal, the conductor to be traced should be separated from the return Applications include identifying the breaker that protects the circuit under test, finding the conductor by utilizing a remote return path.

  • Page 7: Tracing Wires

    Finding Opens Tracing Wires Behind Walls Applications include locating dead circuits, finding the source of an open (broken point) in Applications include finding the locations of cable runs and identifying other devices and a hot/neutral/ground conductor, and determining the end of a circuit run. loads on the circuit.

  • Page 8: Finding Shorts

    Finding Shorts Sorting Bundled Wires Applications include determining causes of breakers tripping, fuses blowing, and current Applications include identifying a specific circuit amongst several circuits in a filled leaking on the ground conductor. The tracer locates the origin of the ground fault or dead- conduit, sorting wires in a wire harness, identifying coax cable and twisted pair cable in a short in these circuits.

  • Page 9: Locating Cable, Conduit, Or Metal Pipe Underground

    Inductive Clamp Applications Locating Cable, Conduit, or Metal Pipe Underground Caution: The clamp does not have any indicators to sense if a circuit is energized. Applications include tracing cable, conduit, or metal pipe underground. See the Inductive Clamp Applications for an additional method. Always disconnect the battery pack from the clamp when not in use to conserve battery power.
